Course Goals / Objectives:
Understand a corporation’s general business goals, and how they report their financial results to their shareholders.
Describe basic cost component behavior associated with engineering and manufacturing using common accounting terminology.
Understand the concept of ‘minimal acceptable rate of return’ (MARR), how it is used, and what factors influence it.
Use appropriate financial acumen in communications.
Model descriptions of engineering projects as discrete cash flows.
Use present worth, future worth, rate of return, simple payback period, discounted payback period, and break-even analysis to evaluate, compare and rank engineering projects.
Understand the advantages, disadvantages, and pitfalls associated with each of the analysis methods above, interpret the results from these methods, and understand the interrelations among the methods
Evaluate project financial outcomes and make recommendations based on proper calculations using MS Excel functions and good spreadsheet design.
Evaluate project risk using scenario analysis.
Understand and apply engineering economic analysis method(s) to a student selected case study.
